How will Trump’s tax INCREASE affect you?

Oh, the ones who've made a lucrative career out of Trump-thumping have portfolios.

The others have a dream of papa's coal mine reopening.

The Trump thumpers would be the other side of the coin from people in government with lucrative careers from being in govt (and stumbling upon some amazing information that would put regular folk and Martha Stewart in jail)?

I've been watching the White Lotus, and they call us LBHs - Losers Back Home. We should book a buddy trip, @leh-nerd skin-erd

Missed the part about the buddy trip.  The problem, Frank,  is that while I typically seek to portray you as a bumbling yet kindly aging barrister, if we travel, it will become apparent that of the two of us, I'm a homely Starsky, you oozing cool like Hutch (relatively speaking of course). 

 

I can't have it, Frank, I just can't.

I always thought that about Starsky, but then I read that Darryl Hall was always jealous of John Oates because that short dark and hairy look got more girls.

That was the 70s of course.

That show is devoid of likable characters. I think that’s where we’re headed. Vacationing with like minded friends is the best bet these days imo.

I think that's the point. That and watching the female cast.

Or male cast if that's your thing.

Classically there is a protagonist in drama. It’s lacking one. Not my thing.

I watch it as ultra-light entertainment.

Question: have you watched The Pitt? If so, what do you think?

I watch white lotus. It’s like a car crash and I can identify some of the characters in real life. Haven’t seen the Piitt. We are watching the Good Karma Hospital which is entertaining but totally unrealistic. Best thing I’ve seen recently is “Flow” which is the Oscar winning animated film.  No humans and no dialogue and yet amazing and thought provoking.
